Delos

The busy harbor is full of boats, and it feels like a thousand sails are sailing.

In the bustling market, the crowd is shoulder to shoulder, and the shouting and shouting of one after another are endless.

Although the island of Delos is only 3.43 square kilometers and can be seen from this view, it is extremely busy, because at this time, it is the neutral trading place of the whole of Greece.

Most of the people on the island are merchants and hawkers from all over the world, and the news spreads quickly here.

Then someone shouted, "Prince Paris is here." ”

"Prince Paris?"

"Haven't you heard? Heroes who have killed krakens, killed two-headed lizards, and killed bears. ”

"What is he doing here?"

"I heard that it was a sacrifice to the gods. ”

On the port, thousands of people are empty, and many people crowd to the port to see Prince Paris.

"Which one is Prince Paris?"

"Just the white tunic with a sword around his waist!"

The crowd of onlookers talked about it, showing that they were full of curiosity about Prince Paris, and some even thought that the prince who killed multiple monsters was the same as the cyclops.

Pei Ziyun stood on the battleship, quietly looking at the crowd, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his reputation spread more and more widely.

He came to Delos because it was the most important trading port in the Aegean Sea, home to several temples and legend has it that it was the birthplace of Artemis and Apollo.

Pei Ziyun got off the battleship, and under the escort of soldiers and slaves, he passed through the market, and there were many commodities in the market, which were dazzling and dizzying.

After the market, there is a long colonnade with a total of 100 columns, along which is the holy way to the temple.

The holy path is lined with towering ancient trees, and birds are chirping happily in the trees, as if to welcome the guests from afar.

At the end of the holy road is to see a monument dedicated to Apollo, the monument is 5 meters high, carved with various reliefs, and then the temple.

As soon as Pei Ziyun arrived at the monument, he already saw the priest of the temple waiting at the door: "Venerable Prince Paris, you are very welcome to come, please come with me." ”

Pei Ziyun followed the priest into the gate of the temple, passed through the corridor, and arrived at the altar of the temple.

The sacrificial process was not abnormal, and Pei Ziyun sacrificed to Apollo, Artemis, Poseidon, and Hermes respectively.

Pei Ziyun placed a bull and 100 grams of gold in front of the altar of Apollo, a bull and 100 grams of gold in front of the idol of Artemis, and a bull in front of the statues of Poseidon and Hermes.

Because Apollo and Artemis have always been friendly to Pei Ziyun and have always protected them, Pei Ziyun gave the siblings 100 grams of gold more than Poseidon and Hermes respectively.

Pei Ziyun stood in front of the altar and prayed loudly: "God, bless me to complete my mission successfully!"

After sacrificing these gods, Pei Ziyun did not stop, quickly returned to the battleship, and gave the order to set sail for Cyprus.

Cyprus

This is a small island located in the eastern Mediterranean, with an area of 9,251 square kilometers, which is said to be the home of Aphrodite, the goddess of love.

The port of Cyprus is a bit busier than Delos, but the markets here are much wider than those of Delos.

Since the last time the golden apple was given to Aphrodite, Pei Ziyun has actually been automatically bound to Aphrodite, the goddess of love.

He had come to the island of Cyprus this time to sacrifice Aphrodite and gain her favor.

As Pei Ziyun slayed monsters such as krakens, two-headed lizards, and bears, his fame grew, and troubadours everywhere were also the promoters of fame, and his reputation increased rapidly.

In Cyprus, the arrival of Prince Paris was welcomed.

Pei Ziyun waved to the people with a smile on his face, and during this time, the enthusiasm of the people everywhere for him made him understand that his reputation had risen.

Pei Ziyun came to a temple, which was a temple dedicated to Aphrodite.

The priest saw Pei Ziyun coming over and smiled: "Dear Prince Paris, the gods have known that you are coming, and have instructed me to lead you in." ”

Pei Ziyun nodded slightly, Aphrodite knew that she was coming, and specially called the priest to greet her, it seems that she is still very friendly to herself.

Passing through the main hall and corridor of the temple, Pei Ziyun saw an altar, and in the center of the altar stood an Aphrodite who had seen it, but the statue of the god was much taller than the real person.

Pei Ziyun didn't dare to slack off, took the bull from the servant's hand, held 100 grams of gold, and put a huge wreath on the altar.

In a series of tedious sacrificial ceremonies, Aphrodite took the best piece of meat from the bull, and the other meat was offered to the temple by Pei Ziyun.

And the gold and garlands are gone.

"Prince Paris, the gods are pleased with your offering. The priest said with a smile on his face.

Pei Ziyun nodded slightly, walked to the idol of Aphrodite, and prayed loudly: "God, bless my mission to be successfully completed." ”

The prayer is the same as in the Temple of Delos, but this time the prayer is addressed to Aphrodite, the goddess of love.

Pei Ziyun continued to rush to the next destination, Crete, where Pei Ziyun was also welcomed.

Crete is the largest island in the Mediterranean, the island is known as the "Garden of the Sea" with beautiful winds and sunshine, evergreen plants, grapes, olives, citrus, flowers in full bloom, and blue waves all around.

Pei Ziyun sacrificed to the gods all over the world, and the one who had been sacrificed again was the regular sacrifice, and there was a temple of Hera on the island, although Pei Ziyun knew that he had offended Hera since he didn't give the golden apple to Hera last time, but he still sacrificed to Hera.

When he came to the temple of Hera, Pei Ziyun sacrificed a bull and 100 grams of gold to Hera, but Hera did not take the bull and took the gold.

In front of the statue of Hera, Pei Ziyun prayed loudly: "God, bless me with the smooth completion of my mission." ”

Mount Olympus

The gods gathered in the hall of the sacred mountain, and Heber kept going from table to table to table, pouring wine for the gods, and the gods raised the golden cup and drank it all.

There was a cloud in front of him, reflecting everything Pei Ziyun had done during this time, and the gods watched Paris's actions with different expressions.

Athena said to Hera, "This Paris is diligent, but if he gains fame in this way, it will be time for him to be cut off by his cold and merciful father." ”

When Hera heard this, she knew that Athena had a trace of pity and sneered: "He doesn't respect me, he doesn't give me the golden apple, what do you care? ”

She then stared at Yun Qi and watched Pei Ziyun sacrifice herself: "However, he is so pious, I can give him a result of dying on the battlefield, instead of dying in a plot." ”

Hera had always been calculating, and she would repay her, and the last time Paris did not give her the golden apple, the seeds of hatred were planted in her heart, and the seeds had taken root and sprouted, and when the time came, they would break through the ground and devour everything Paris.

"Your wishes. Athena said, thinking, and asked, "It depends on the situation, Paris will arrive in Sparta at his next stop, but his forces will not be able to capture Helen." ”

"We've discussed this for a long time, Paris will see an empty Spartan palace. ”

"There is no one else who cherishes Helen but Menelaus, the king of Sparta!" refers to Zeus's two sons, Helen's two brothers, Castor and Polydius.

"Isn't it normal for us to arrange a meteor-like fate for our heroes? Even Theseus, whom you and Poseidon loved, waited for him to grow old, and you didn't allow Lycomedes to push him off the cliff?"

Theseus killed the boar Fea, subdued the Marathon bison, defeated the Minotaur, abducted Hippolyta, snatched Helen, and even tried to rob Persephone, but when he was old, the king who ruled Sculos was Lycomedus, who pushed him off the cliff and watched Theseus fall backwards into the sea.

"They have enjoyed fame and legend, and I will ask Poseidon to give them an ending. Hera said coldly.

Athena bowed slightly, she naturally knew that Hera was replacing Zeus and cutting off many people, especially the sons of Zeus, other gods were not easy to do, and Hera made a move, so she was named jealous.

Hercules accomplished ten great deeds and killed his wife.

Kastor and Polydiuces are also legendary heroes of the previous generation, according to legend, they set sail after hearing the news of their sister's robbery, followed the pursuit, and approached the island of Leesburg off the coast of Troy, but they were caught in a storm and the ship disappeared (Hera asked Poseidon to intervene).

Athena didn't know the result of Castor and Polydius at this time, but when she heard this, she also understood that the two of them had run out of energy, and she shuddered slightly.

Hera, so to speak, is the killer of Zeus's son.

In fact, in terms of divine power, Athena has surpassed Hera a lot, but Hera shares part of Zeus's authority, which is not trivial.

This is the authority over the Holy Mountain!

Even the son of Zeus had this result, and Paris did not give himself a golden apple, so why should he be angry with Hera for him?

Hera is for Zeus, and she herself is reckless, and she will be repaid!

A hint of pity vanished.

Apollo, on the other hand, was faintly worried, and muttered, "Prince Paris, you are on the verge of danger. ”

Apollo knew that if Paris continued to grow up like this and gain prestige like this, his father would definitely cut him off mercilessly.

Artemis heard his brother talking to himself, but he only drank the wine and used the divine food, and Prince Paris, although he sacrificed many times, only gave her a good impression, and this impression was not yet enough to make her speak for Prince Paris, who was not too deeply involved in her interests.

Aphrodite drank wine alone, watching Pei Ziyun's performance, she lowered her eyes, thinking about the contradiction between herself and Hera, Hera wanted to deal with Paris Sure, she was Zeus's wife, sharing part of the authority, but she couldn't stop it, just thinking: "With such bravery, I can only give more love to make up for the tragic future of this hero." ”
